Alien Wars - By Brodyn
Brodyn's first animation project -
Directed by Papaw 
[100px X 70px scaled to 500px X 350px]

How could a stint of playing Lego possibly get any more fun? Oh, there's a way... It took us about 45 minutes to shoot this 150 frames of animation. Playback is 5 frames per second. Papaw directed from the camera position and Brodyn did the animation work. A fun introduction to animation. Enjoy!

Thanks to Amanda Wood at "Journey of Mixed Emotions" for the heads-up on the cool little web app called "Turn A Quote Into A Masterpiece" available at http://www.recitethis.com. This slick gizmo will let you make some eye-catching graphics from words you supply. The picture above features the Six Word Memoir that I concieved for Six Word Memoirs at Smith Magazine.

Richesnay Time Again

Is This Richesnay
Photo by Nenad Saljic / National Geographic Photo Contest

It's that time of year again - the middle part of March (in this neck of the woods) - when those of my clan begin to anticipate and watch for the Richesnay.

I wrote a rather lengthy post several years ago entitled The Meaning of "Richesnay",  but in the interest of brevity I will simply refer you to that post and throw out the question: Have you ever heard of the word Richesnay or anything even remotely close that refers to a similar concept?

Richesnay [RIH-ches-nay] - The sudden blowing, swirling, voluminous, late winter snowfall that surely marks the coming of spring.

TLDR;
I am trying to track down the origins of the word/concept "Richesnay."

Ring any bells?

 


BlogDogIt Note: I had the image above, just knocking around; not exactly sure where it came from, but it has been among the random "Perfect Timing" widget images. I had always thought that I would use that picture to illustrate a Richesnay post but after compiling this post I really did not want to use it without attribution. So I ventured out onto the interwebs and promptly discovered www.tineye.com.; a reverse image search (in beta) that functioned masterfully. I therefore recommend that you give them a try the next time you are looking for an images source for attribution.

Woman Bites Dog!

While out blog-hopping I came upon the WomanBitesDog blog and thought "Oh my! That is even more unusual than man bites dog"... Of course, I took the bait. What I discovered was an entertaining, light-hearted and down-to-Earth blog by Lindsey Jones. The following is from her "About Page":

Lyndsey Jones is a journalist, playwright and comedy writer. Her debut play, Martini Bond: Her hunt for the spy who loved her mum – a James Bond parody – was one of the best selling shows at the 2012 Camden Fringe Festival in London. The show went on to enjoy a successful four-night run at the Broadway theatre, Barking and was also live streamed. Martini Bond is on at the Kings Arms, Salford, near Manchester...

...Lyndsey would like to share her experience of writing the play, producing it, watching her words come to life, and possibly flirting with e-publishing.

The rest I leave for you to [ read more... ]

The King's Arms (Ale House) website featured a synopsis for Lyndsey's play:

Martini Bond: Her hunt for the spy who loved her mum

Martini Bond: Her hunt for the spy who loved her mum

Martini Bond, brought up in a single parent household, is tracing her family history. After James Bond’s file was left on a train, Martini’s memories were shaken but not stirred. She had never thought of meeting her dad. Until now.

But he is missing presumed dead after an explosive encounter with Franken von Banken, a mad scientist. Franken has spliced the god particle with villain DNA and hopes to resurrect the world domination role that god is so good at.

Martini’s mission is to find her dad – and save the world – only she’s never spied, can’t drive or shoot to kill. But, then again, perhaps she’ll just go shopping, after all she never knew him. And the family motto always was live and let die…

Martini Bond, written by Lyndsey Jones and directed by Helen Niland, was one of the best-selling shows at the 2012 Camden Fringe Festival before transferring to The Broadway theatre, Barking, London.

Technorati CheckUp - BlogDogIt

I occasionally like to pop-in on Technorati.com to see how this blog is doing in the ratings. I know it isn't a contest but I would like to know if I am winning...

I decided to grab todays report for posterity and as a reference to those "authority" areas in which BlogDogIt.com is showing-up.

Perhaps some day I will discover what all these scores are actually trying to tell me but for now I am happy to take it to mean that in terms of life in the blogosphere, at least we have a pulse.

Me and computers go way back. My high school had a computer and a class. I did not take the class but I did use the computer room as a location for an amateur film entitled - strangely enough - "The Computer." I could not tell you what type of computer it was other than to say it was a behemoth in blue and a punch card system. This was circa 1975. A time when pocket calculators had glowing red LED displays and PONG was just hitting the streets. The world of computing was strange and new. You could not really say that I was "into" computers but it would be fair to say "we hung out." I intend to post to this blog on a somewhat regular basis. For my part I will post about things that interest me and things that may interest a certain segment of the internet at large. I would also like to formerly extend the invitation for you dear reader to register for an access account and join the fun.
